The 7.62 will blow the jug apart. Its a larger diameter bullet, its a heavier bullet, its faster and has a lot more power.
There is a HUGE difference.

Water jugs are kinda worthless when considering terminal ballistics...
Take some time and study this and I think it could open your eyes a little on
terminal ballistics we aren't talking about penetration... If I need to shoot through a car, I'll take an AK, but for people 62-77gr 5.56 is plenty.
